Super-Villain Team-Up: MODOK's 11 - Fred Van Lente
MODOK hires a team of desperate B-list criminals — Armadillo, Spot, Nightshade, Puma, Living Laser, Rocket Racer, Mentallo, and Chameleon — to steal a McGuffin of awesome power that can unmake reality or create a new Cosmic Cube. As happens with bad guys, however, there are double-crosses and triple-crosses aplenty, as a couple of the "team" sell MODOK out and at least one of them isn't who he appears to be. This is a superb comedy-crime-caper, filled with tongue in cheek humor but also real drama and fighting. Van Lente is the best at what he does, and what he does is very fun. [4.5]
